August 2015

Happy 3 Months!
Hard to believe another month has already come and gone!  August brought us back to reality with the end of my maternity leave and the start of school!  And it also means that Thomas is 3 Months old now!  He is getting so big!

We had a great end to the summer and tried to take full advantage of the end of my maternity leave.  We took our annual trip to the Williamson County fair which was so fun.  The girls love going through the "Kid Barn" and doing all the farm work.  Of course the best part is the end when you get to use your "money" to buy real treats...ice cream sandwiches of course!

We also got together with our neighbors, The Booths, and did The Color Run Night.  We have done the regular Color Run before, but the last time we did it, it was 40 degrees and raining...not so fun.  This year the race started at 8pm and everything glows.  The girls LOVED it.  Thomas snoozed through it in his stroller with a weather cover on it.  Hudson and Sobes loved the glowing tattoos and even got out and ran about the last 1/2 mile.  Hudson is convinced she won the whole thing because they gave her a medal at the end!  We had a blast and the girls keep asking when we can do another one!

I had to include this picture because this guy is hilarious these days.  He smiles, laughs, coos, rolls from front to back and is just a very happy baby.  He also started daycare this month which has been interesting.  He does OK until nap time and then he is not a happy camper.  They have to put him on his back to sleep and well...he is more of a tummy sleeper.  Needless to say on his first day there, he napped for 20 minutes total!  Hopefully, he can learn to roll from his back to front soon so he can start getting some sleep!
So smiley...as long as he can't see the camera
August also brings the start of soccer season.  This year the girls are on different teams since we moved Hudson up to the 5 Year Old/Kindergarten League.  They are both doing really well.  Sobe's Blue Team won their first game by a big margin...thanks to a couple of ringers we have this season.  Sobe is convinced she scored a goal - even though nobody else saw it...haha.  Hudson's team, The Pink Princesses, won their first game in a close one, 4-3.  She did really well and even scored 2 goals.  I think it is going to be a great season for both of them!
First soccer games!
We also got to experience the Music City Balloon Festival which was a lot of fun.  It was an afternoon full of bounce houses, face painting, balloon animals and princesses of course.  The girls had a blast and we stayed long enough to see the balloons fill up and light up the sky. Although we did find out, the hard way, that the balloons don't actually take off...they just sit on the ground.  Apparently, we were the only ones that didn't know that...haha!
Hot air balloons and princesses

That is about all for now.  September looks to be a fun month too with a trip back to the Lake for Labor Day and of course the rest of soccer season.  As always, here are the the pictures from August:
